My Little Box August 2015

Saturday, August 15, 2015

Gypset - (adj) Someone with a passionate soul, an adventurous mind and a bohemian nature.

It also loosely describes what the contents of this month's My Little Box; an array of cosmetic and as always lifestyle items, that are gloriously multi-functional - perfectly suited for those who travel frequently or the Summer months in general. I probably state this most months (and each time I do mean it, until it is outdone by the next box) but this has to be one of my favourite My Little Box editions ever. Ladies and gentlemen I present, My Little Box Gypset...

As always My Little Box Gypset contains both : a My Little Box magazine which features tips, DIY projects and interviews and a wonderfully designed and themed art print.

What's the one thing I always need and forget to pop into my handbag? Hair ties! Luckily for myself and most likely many others too, the My Little Box Gypset contains a pack of four, elastic wrist bands come hair ties. Not only are they pleasing on the eye but the thick, robust rings are ideal for securing even the thickest of hair types. I would honestly purchase a pack if they were available for individual sale. My thick, unruly hair is tamed...for once.

Other beauty products include a dinky and rather heavenly fragranced tube of Korres Basil Lemon Body Milk, ideal for soothing and moisturising dry skin. A pretty and somewhat natural toned bronzing powder and a lip/cheek tint by So Susan - great for a quick, on the go perky hint of colour.

Lastly and perhaps most excitingly there is a cute, bohemian bucket bag by Antik Batik. I realise that the majority of music festivals have been and gone but wouldn't this be the perfect addition for such activity? Heck it is so pretty that I may just use it as an everyday bag - beautifully designed and deceivingly more spacious than it let's on.

I feel the same. Completely underwhelmed this month. So Susan cosmetics seem to pop up in all of the British beauty boxes, and I am just not a fan of them-I think their packaging is cheap for for what they charge for the product. Happy with the Korres and my bag seems to be OK, but I am very underwhelmed :(

This looks so cute! My Little Box is one of those where every month I just sit and perve off everyone's posts about what was in theirs... they always seem to get it so right (whereas my experiences with other sub boxes have been a little hit and miss!!) I recently won a competition with the My Little Frenchie box and I was maje impressed with it - I'll have to bite the bullet and subscribe one day haha
